Frequently Asked Questions - RM/434 Ramtons

How long should I wait before plugging in the dispenser after unpacking?

Let the dispenser stand upright for approximately 2 hours before connecting to power. This allows the cooling system to stabilize after transportation.

Why is no water coming out of the hot water faucet?

Ensure the water bottle is properly seated on the water guard and that the hot water switch on the back is turned on. You may need to press the hot water button until water flows to prime the system.

How do I clean the water dispenser before first use?

Fill the water tank with tap water, wait 5 minutes, then flush by pressing both faucets. Drain completely via the back drainage hole. Then fill with purified water and repeat until taste is normal.

What should I do if the cold water is not cold enough?

Check that the cooling switch on the back is turned on and that there is at least 2 inches of space behind the dispenser for air circulation. The green indicator should be lit when cooling is active.

Can I use the water dispenser outdoors?

No, the water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor use. Keep it indoors away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and temperatures below freezing (0°C).

How do I descale the hot water tank?

Prepare a 2% citric acid solution (food-grade) and fill the hot water tank. Let it sit for about 2 hours, then drain thoroughly and flush with fresh water before use.

What does it mean if the heating indicator light goes off?

When the red heating indicator turns off, it means the hot water has reached the set temperature (85–95°C). The heater will automatically resume when the temperature drops below 80°C.

Is it safe to leave the dispenser plugged in when not in use?

If not used for more than three days, it is recommended to turn off the heating switch and unplug the unit. For extended absence, drain all water as described in the manual.

Why does the dispenser make gurgling or clicking noises?

Gurgling sounds are normal due to refrigerant flow. Clicking or popping may be from temperature changes. Ensure the dispenser is on a level surface to minimize vibrations.

What type of water bottles can I use?

Use standard bottled water with a clever lid (ultra-pure, distilled, or spring water). Do not use cracked or leaking bottles. The water guard automatically seals the bottle upon insertion.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using your appliance, please follow these basic instructions.

● Read all instructions before using the water dispenser.● Never clean parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.● Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other water dispenser. The fumes can create a fire hazard of explosion.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the dispenser when it is fully loaded. The unit is provided with four plastic feet. If it does not sit level on the floor, adjust the front feet to level the unit well to the floor.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.
• Allow 2 inches of space between the water dispenser and the wall, which allows for proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized products service center.
  ● This water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor usage.
• Do not locate the dispenser in the area where the temperature may fall below freezing point (0°C or 32°F).
• Keep area around dispenser free of dust and dirt.
• Keep the reserve supply of water bottles away from excessive heat and light.

PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Before connecting the appliance to the power source. Let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Check and make sure the backside hot water drainage hole cap is not leaked or broken.
• The water dispenser is pre-cleaned at the factory but the reservoir and water lines must be flushed with fresh water before use as follows:
• Keep the unit unplugged.
  ● Fill water tank with tap water full to capacity. Wait for 5 minutes until water settles.
  ● Push the hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop the faucet.
• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that, wait for the hot water to reach temperature in approximately 10 minutes, and then wait for the cold water to reach temperature in other 40 minutes approximately.
• Unplug the dispenser from the electrical outlet. Proceed to drain the water from the faucets one at a time until no more water remains. (Note: To facilitate this operation, use a large container)
• Then, drain any water left in the tanks by opening the backside hot water drainage hole cap, until all water drains completely. After that, screw up the cap tightly.
  ● Put the bottled purified or other dean water on the top cover one minute.
  ● Push water faucet buttons to insure water flows from both faucets.
  ● Plug dispenser again into the electrical outlet.
• Now you are ready to use your water dispenser.

NOTE: Your water dispenser has been cleaned and sanitized before leaving the factory, but in case a taste problem develops, place two tablespoons of baking soda and add tap water. Fill water

tank again and repeat basic operations, except turn hot water function “OFF” to avoid leaving residues in hot water tank.

OPERATION

● Ambient temperature: 10 \~ 42°C
● Atmosphere 86 \~ 106kpa
- When using the bottles holding ultra-pure water, distilled water or space water with the so-called clever lid, tear off the hygienic label on the lid, place the bottles at the intake, then the core of water guard will automatically open the valve and seal it in the meantime, when moving the bottles, the valve will also seal automatically to avoid any possible oozing.
- Push the hot water faucet, bubbles are generated inside the bottle, indicating that water is flowing into hot water and cold water tanks, keep pressing the hot water valve until water flows out, dispensing cold water required need no particular adjustment.
- Do not connect the electrical power plug, until water comes out of the hot water faucet.
● After plug, the yellow LED indicator will be on indicating the power is “ON”.
- Turn on the heating switch, the red LED indicator will be on and the heating system starts working. When the hot water comes up to 85-95°C or so, the red light goes off, the heating system stops working. The machine turns to the warm-keeping status. When the hot water temperature is lower than 80°C, the heating system will resume working automatically.
- Turn on the cooling switch, the green LED indicator will be on and the cooling system starts working. When the cold water falls down to 5-10°C, the green light goes off, the cooling system stops working. The machine turns to the cold-keeping status. When the cold water temperature goes up to a set degree, the cooling system will resume working automatically.
- Since the temperature has already been adjusted before leaving the factory, it is unnecessary for customers to set the temperature.
- Turn the heating and cooling switches on. Then the heating and cooling processes start working together.
- If the device is not applied for a long time, after the hot water cools down, please remove the power plug and revolve the drain cap to drain the rest water in the hot tank then tighten the cap. Open the cold water faucet to drain the rest water in the cold tank.
- If there is no water flowing from cooling faucet, please shut down the cooling switch until there is water flowing out.
- If you do not plan to use the water heating function for more than three days, we strongly recommend that you turn off the hot water function.
